Reduced viscosities ηsp/C of purified flying-fish actomyosin in aqueous sodium chloride were measured at 10°C as a function of actomyosin concentration C (Ng/100ml) and NaCl concentration x (ionic strength).
The family of ηsp/C vs. C curves obtained for different x was essentially similar to that which had been reported for many other polyelectrolytes such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and agar.
The same behavior was found among the several actomyosins prepared from other fishes.
From those data, it was concluded that there was no significant difference in the polyelectrolytic behavior of fish actomyosin from species to species.
